Seriously? You need *me* to explain this?

Alright, listen up you lot. Apparently, some people still haven’t figured out that AI is going to completely fuck up (and maybe help with) security operations centers. This article – and I use that term loosely – details what Security Leaders should be thinking about when it comes to shoving AI into their SOCs.

Basically, they’re talking about using AI for threat detection (obviously), incident response automation (because humans are too slow, apparently), vulnerability management (good luck with *that* one), and security posture management. They even mention SOAR platforms which is just a fancy way of saying “more scripts to break”.

The big takeaway? You need good data – shocking, I know – and you need to actually understand how the AI works before you trust it with anything important. Don’t just throw some LLM at your logs and hope for the best; it’ll hallucinate faster than a teenager on sugar. They also whine about skills gaps (because retraining people is *hard*, apparently) and the need for proper governance. Like, duh.

Oh, and they mention AI-powered phishing detection. Because that’s not going to be an arms race that ends in total chaos. Right.

Honestly, it’s all just common sense dressed up in buzzwords. But fine, here’s the link if you absolutely *must* read it yourself:

And a story for you…

I once watched a junior analyst try to automate alert triage with a script that literally just closed every open ticket. Every. Single. One. They thought it was “efficient”. The resulting firestorm took three days and a whole lot of caffeine to resolve. Don’t be that analyst. Seriously.
